HISTORYJ. R. Burrow moved to Smith Center in the early 1880s and founded the 1st National Bank of Smith Center. The mansion was built in 1899 as a private residence for Burrow and his 3rd wife, whose maiden name was Ingalls; thus they named their new home "Ingleboro". Burrow later moved to Topeka and became president of the Central National Bank and Kansas Secretary of State. During the Burrow's years, the house and grounds covered a city block, which included a private park complete with deer, a stream, peacocks, and a gazebo.

Burrow sold the house to Henry Williams in 1905. Dr. C. C. Funk purchased the residence several years later and turned it into a hospital. Most of those born in Smith Center between 1921 and 1951 were delivered in an upstairs bedroom. In 1952, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mahin opened the mansion as a nursing home. They were joined by the Burleys in 1955.

In the mid 1970's through the end of the 20th century, Ingleboro served the community as the famous Ingleboro Restaurant. It was owned and operated by the Burleys, Dave Haug, David and Pam Harrison and Joe and Darla Conaway during this time period. In January of 2000, the restaurant was closed as Ingleboro Mansion continued as a bed and breakfast. In August 2000, the current owners, Bruce and Bobbi Miles, moved here from Denver after staying at the Bed and Breakfast several times. "We fell in love with the friendliness of the local people and the slower pace of this mid-western town. Since it is centrally located, it is convenient for our children and grandchildren to visit no matter where in the states they move." From 2002 until 2006, Ingleboro Mansion Bed and Breakfast opened its doors to the public as Nancy Mitchell operated "The Tea Parlor". Now Bruce and Bobbi's new innkeepers, Tyler and Tiffany Bohm, will operate "Tiffany's" at Ingleboro, as well as manage the bed and breakfast.

Over the years care has been taken to preserve the Victorian flavor of the grand mansion, which has valiantly served Smith Center and the surrounding area. The two-story frame home is decorated with converted carbide and kerosene lights, imported stained glass windows, cherry, oak and maple woodwork, and bay windows. The entryway and staircase are particularly impressive as are the elaborate oak and cherry fireplaces that display the original tile work.
